Pathetic attempt to re-do "They live"

[predragula-29834 · 1/10 · 27 December 2017]

My first review here, and done simply to save you wasting your time the way I just did. I am sci-fi fan and tend to trust IMDB rating, but this movie really does not deserve over 6 rating. So it must be one of those where you get a numbers of people to vote it up. Movie itself is a try to re-do legendary "They live", but it utterly fails in doing so. It is simply amateurish on all levels: very bad acting, silly effects, bad camera, average music, poor dialogue, etc. etc. There should be a law stopping people making things like this.

Entertaining Movie to Share with the Family

[chakoff-natalie · 10/10 · 16 April 2010]

Thisindependent film illustrates how a quality small movie can be made which provides entertainment for the whole family. The Four Twenty-One is a great sent up of the old alien movies we all grew up with. It has a plot that keeps the audience interest with enough tongue in cheek humor to also keep you laughing. We've all seen alien movies before, in this movie Tom Galt puts his own spin on the genre through his wry wit. Galt also has a major role in the movie and reveals himself to be an actor with great comic timing and matinée idol looks. I saw this with my family and we didn't know what to expect and were very pleasantly surprised by how entertaining the movie was.
